Great sports bar food. Old building in downtown with lots of TVs. There was a pep rally in the street outside and the Arkansas State marching band came in the restaurant and played the fight song. Despite the chaos, they got our orders right and the service was fast. If you're ever in Jonesboro, this is a really fun place. read more

On a road trip and in need of lunch. Yelp didn't disappoint! Skinny Js staff were friendly, kind and provided the right amount of attention. Parmesan wings, chicken wrap and the seafood pasta were really good! Seems there's a stage so perhaps they offer entertainment which with the amount of tables and chairs I think it would be a great space to have a nice time. read more

Unpretentious and good. Two things that don't always go together of late. I really had a ball eating here. Gimme another cold Arkansas Draft Beer and see me tip-toeing to the restrooms later. Get away, Perv! read more

The best thing here was the service at the bar. I ordered a burger med rare. It was well at best. No pink, very little juice. My wife had their version of a patty melt, she forgot to order it med rare and it was cooked better than mine. Good hangout joint and would definitely try again but the food definitely missed on the temperature. Interesting the bartender didn't notice that 3/4's my burger was left when she cleared my plate read more

Absolutely worst service. Greasy food. Sat at the bar and waited for nearly 5 minutes to be recognized by any one of the 5 or 6 workers who passed. When the bartender did finally notice us, she was rude!! Very blunt, not welcoming at all. Place was not busy- wonder why?! *** edit to add to give info about time and date- this was on 07/19/2026 at about 6:30 pm. read more

Could have seated us practically anywhere considering the place was empty but chose the one place with sticky floor and wet towels that had obviously been there to dry up whatever was spilt but left there to just soak. Made the whole experience feel dirty. The service was fine but nothing spectacular. The food was decent. I had chicken strips that tasted similar to slims. They were prepared well enough and came with some pretty good fries. Parents had the ribeye and patty melt. Apparently their ribeye was pretty good but probably not worth the 40 bucks. Dad ate the whole patty melt sandwhich so it must have been pretty good too. The beer I had was a lost 40 seasonal but I'm not sure what it actually was. Tasted pretty good though. I'd normally give this place a 4 but the gross sticky floor kind of unnerved me the entire time. read more

Super casual restaurant vibe. Cocktail menu is pretty funny. Loved the wide variety of food menu options. Within walking distance from our townhouse rental. Cocktail: Arkansas Annie. First time trying the vodka from this distiller and not sure how much I like it. 3/5 Spinach dip: not very flavorful. Could have used more seasoning and spinach 2/5 Crawfish dip: perfectly made and enjoyed the wontons 4/5 Seafood pasta: no complaints at all 5/5 Service 4.5/5 read more

The waitress was polite andattentive to my son, and I, she kept our drinks filled and checked in on us often. The Rueben eggroll appetizer was a showstopper. I had the cheeseburger which was cooked perfect and tasty. read more

Waiter was nice but the food took 45 mins. Came out cold and my wings had barely any sauce on them. I ordered a side of fries and they were hot but I only got about 10 fries. The "wings" were more so nuggets with a splash of buffalo sauce. Overall, bad service and mediocre food. The meal was cheap, but got what we paid for it. read more

Food: side salad, no cheese with balsamic vinaigrette, crab cakes (with fried green tomatoes), turkey melt with sweet potato fries. The food was okay, nothing special, but hit the spot. The crab cakes are made in house and come with fried green tomatoes which were tasty. Service: friendly and helpful recommendations. Ambiance: hardwood floors and chairs, great for families, loud music Location: on S. Main at the end of the street. read more

I wouldn't come back here. I was in town for graduation and took the recommendation of my hotel bartender. To be fair, he said he goes here for burgers...BUT the previous Yelp reviews made me think the salmon wouldn't be a horrible idea. Spoiler alert: it was. You see those sear marks on the salmon? It was burnt. Charred. Not tasty. 0/10 do not recommend. I was so excited about the Brussels that I almost ordered them as an appetizer even though I knew that would be more than I could finish. Once I saw that I could get them as a side, I was excited. I was wrong to be excited. There were too many different flavors mixed into it, and a distinct mustard flavor. Womp womp. THESE FRIES THO?! GET THEEEEEM!!! They are amaaaaazing!!! To be fair, I love potatoes. If I ever did happen back into this establishment, I'd only order fries. The place was busy on a Friday evening, so I sat at the bar (which was surprisingly open). The bartenders were nice and took care of me. I tried ordering a drink but they didn't have any of the ingredients I wanted so I just had water. In summary, "don't do it; reconsider!" ...unless you're in the market for a college town bar/grill experience. In that case, this is the low lit, dirty, noisy establishment of your dreams. read more

All around great place to eat! Best Crab Cake Eggs Benedict EVER! Fun atmosphere. The wait staff is usually above par!!

Ask for Katie. She makes the best Ranch Water!! Had a ribeye, salad, green beans and fried pickles. The steak and salad and drinks were tops. Pickles good. Good and salty. Didn't care for the green beans. Greta local and non-chain vibe. Hospitality was spot on. My stop when in town now! read more

The food there was great and the service by Hannah was outstanding. I will definitely come back not only for the food but for the service as well. read more

Kennedy went above and beyond! She made us feel so welcomed and made the best recommendations! Definitely will be back!

Had destiny as a server. She was not attentive. Our pepper jack bites came out of the kitchen feeling like tiny rocks. Waited almost 30 minutes for our drink from the bar. Another server came to heck up on us and had to go make it. She accidentally made the drink wrong so we got a free drink (that was a bonus :). It was slightly busy, but there were still plenty of open tables. I will be back because I am addicted to the pepper jack bites, but overall this experience was really bad. For every aspect of the visit i have something negative to say about it with the exception of the server who helped turn things around. I wish I would have gotten her name to thank her. I really hope this was a one off and destiny was just having a bad night. read more

Great ambience to watch any games Delicious food and friendly people working there. Give it a try. You'll enjoy everything read more

Food and service was excellent. We had burgers and they were great. Bring an appetite!

This place has chill vibe which was good as I was traveling with work colleagues. I ordered a la carte as I want different things. I got wings soup and Brussels sprouts. My favorite by far was the dry rub wings as they were smoked and not fried so they weren't overcooked. read more

Service is exceptional and the food matches the staff's excellence. Shae is great at teaching us new words. Katie is a great musician on the side. Lexi is just fun, Justin knows a lot about a lot and they are all just amazing. Sorry for the bartenders we forgot to mention, they are all so welcoming and friendly. The music fits the mood depending who's bartending. All great! read more

Wed.nite - whole*wings/$1 even at that price are a ripoff! Tiny meatless gristle~ just say No.

Little bit of a wait on a Saturday, which is normal so I recommend setting a reservation on the weekend (but it was also prom weekend so that could've been why as well.) Our server was nice, but definitely busy as she was working the bar too. Food was sooo good, I had the Cajun Pasta and my boyfriend had a burger which I cannot recall the name, and for apps we had the fried mac n cheese. Overall I would recommend and will be back! read more

Great food great service great atmosphere. We went here on our anniversary. We also came back for my birthday. Hard to beat the entrees and desert. read more

Samantha was fantastic! The food was fantastic and great! Absolutely delicious and thrilled to stop here!

Kennedy was awesome!!! Been to Jonesboro twice, will return and make Skinny J's the first lunch stop.

We had great service here with great food! Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we were all taken care of!

Samantha was great, very attentive to our group. She is very friendly making sure that we had everything we needed.

I ordered a to-go order and honestly expected more. The "nachos" are embarrassing why not just call it cheese with chips? Definitely not worth what I paid for them. The burger was fine. The bread was nice and the patty was cooked well but the flavor was just ok. I honestly could have gone to Hardee's and gotten a better and less expensive burger. I also did not receive the sweet potato fries I ordered. Shockingly, the fried pickles were the best thing I received and were truly delightful. Perhaps it is better in person but I will never find out. Too overpriced for such underwhelming food. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! When I walked in I thought I was on Bar Rescue but took the order to go to eat at hotel. Buffalo wings were a good solid sauce. Steak was supposed to be medium well but ended up well and tough. The grill flavor was heavy which was great. Burbon bread pudding made no sense but I liked it. Vanilla ice cream had no flavor which was weird. The baked potato may have been the worse ever had sadly was a hard flavorless rock. Also didn't realize how expensive it was. App, steak entree and desert was $65 before tip. Ouch. read more

We waited over 30 minutes to be seated and then were told they ran out of food because they were so busy the day before, so they couldn't seat us. Very disappointing experience for Father's Day. read more

food spot on! Waitress Sam was great! she took my order it was perfect! made sure I had everything I needed and smiled the entire time! she had everything out in a timely manner! couldn't have asked for a better experienc! read more

Came downtown looking for a good dinner option. The whole Main St. is depressed but this seemed to be a chill place. The place was pretty empty but they seated us in the back by the bathrooms - which I didn't like but I didn't say anything. I ordered a wing basket and my friend ordered shrimp and grits. After 10 minutes or so the waitress came back and told me they were out of wings. You didn't know that when I ordered? How do you run out of wings at 6:30 with only a handful of people in the joint? So I ordered a burger instead. The burger was nothing special and the fries were cold. My friend said the shrimp and grits wasn't very good either. We won't be back. read more

The servers are really nice. The food is great and came out at a decent time. They have fun events sometimes like Halloween trivia, etc and the employees actually dress up to match the holidays. The drinks are great and pungent enough for me personally. The ambience is southern and welcoming. read more

Very good steak.. Very very very long wait. Food wasn't paired well, very expensive. Bar food, with upscale prices.
